    Democrats repeatedly encounter trouble with voicing consensus in a debate that centers more and more on the means of the established foreign policy rather than on its ends. In spite of common support for multilateralism and America’s role as a Global Good Samaritan, Democrats have teetered between the assertions of the “dove” and “hawk” wings of their party since the Vietnam War. As a result, the splintered facets of the Democratic Party have perpetuated the perception that Democratic political leaders are not relevant in the foreign policy arena. Furthermore, Democratic public servants (particularly Democratic Presidents) consistently present notions of America’s global leadership that demonstrates the divide among the party elite and the

    It Only Takes One Second What bigger dream could a child possess than to pursue a career as president? Parents all across the nation instill the possibility of leading the country into the minds of little boys and girls each and every day. The concept of supreme power, a mansion, and nationwide recognition fabricates a false depiction of life as the president. Representing an entire country is an immense amount of power that can cause “heavy strain” on an individual (Coolidge 240).

  • Differences Between Presidential Campaigns

    428 Words  | 2 Pages

    The presidential campaigns of GOP candidates Mike Huckabee¬—former Governor of Arkansas—and Marco Rubio—Senator from Florida—differ starkly in many respects. The two enjoy different bases of support, differ on many of the issues and employ radically different rhetorical styles and debate tactics. However, in terms of the campaigns’ media strategy, the most interesting difference lies in the candidates’ propensity (or lack thereof) to attack their fellow GOP candidates publically. Analyzing Rubio and Huckabee’s penchant to publically denounce other GOP candidates via social media will likely reveal the differences between the two campaigns’ online communication strategies. The differing strategies could be reflective of the candidates’ position in the polls; in so far that a leading candidate may have a higher incentive to attack other candidates, while lower polling candidates may have an incentive to behave in a more restrained manner.

Today, with the increase of social media, the growth of the federal government, disagreements between parties, along with all of the current issues, make the president’s job one of the hardest. The job of the president is not impossible, what makes it extremely difficult is that no one in Congress is willing to change the status quo. I think there is so much responsibility placed on the president that it is almost impossible to be truly successful. I think all of the stress the president undergoes daily working with his staff to find solutions to current issues that will benefit most Americans, provides

    I couldn't verbally express at this point because depends upon factors of which we ken nothing: the genuine candidates, the condition of the economy, the state of the world. As others have noted history gives the opposition party an edge. People incline to tire of a two-term president and his party toward the cessation of his tenure. The best one can verbalize of Obama is that his record is commixed. He certainly didn't live up to all the hype of his 2008 election campaign; the exaltation that was lavished on him then makes painful reading today.
